Model GFC7001E Carbon Dioxide Analyzer

9.6.3.FLOW CALIBRATION

The flow calibration allows the user to adjust the values of the sample flow rates as they are displayed on the front panel and reported through COMM ports to match the actual flow rate measured at the sample inlet. This does not change the hardware measurement of the flow sensors, only the software-calculated values.

To carry out this adjustment, connect an external, sufficiently accurate flow meter to the sample inlet (see Section 12.3.4 for more details). Once the flow meter is attached and is measuring actual gas flow, press:
